Arguably for some federated/decentralized tools are preferred
(for philosophical reasons), even if they do not achieve even feature
parity with centralized tools (c.f. FSF). Though Git is not there
to improve the world, just to be better...
On the other hand some may say that centralized tools (such as GitHub
and its pull requests) do not achieve feature parity with email based
workflow... though the basics are here.
